We loved our stay at Laura’s House. Alessandro was very welcoming and helpful with his check-in and the place was a quiet oasis for us to relax at the end of a busy day in Florence. The kitchen is fully equipped so we even had the option to make our first home cooked meal of the trip. The location is great, a quick bus ride from the centre of Florence and in a beautiful quiet part of town.

Quiet Neighborhood.
Great clean apartment, but a good distance from the Central Town, be prepared to take a Taxi to and from the location everyday, $20-$25 Euros each way. We found a Pastry Bakery down the road that sells Bus tickets for $1.70 Euro each, so we took Bus to city and Taxi back at nights. We did not cook but it has a full kitchen. Alexandro was very nice and called a taxi to the Train station Novella for us $27.00 Euros. Off to Venice now!❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🤪🤪🤪

A stay in the Ultrano
This apartment is so nice. It's on a bus route. You can walk to Florence or hop a bus. It's near Piazza Michangelo, i walked there and back and I am over 70. The #12 or 13 bus will also take you there. It's a really nice place to stay. I highly recommend it.

Toll gelegene, angenehme Wohnung.
Eine ideale Wohnung für alle, die abseits der großen Touristenströme und dennoch recht nah am Zentrum einerseits und den schönen Hügeln südlich der Stadt sein wollen. Wir sind in 5 Tagen nicht einmal in den Bus gestiegen, denn auch auf den Wegen zur Stadt oder in die Gartenanlagen gibt es viel zu entdecken, gerade dann wenn man nicht immer die Via Senese geht, sondern auf Umwegen unterwegs ist. Die Bäckerei, welche die Straße stadtauswärts in 5 Fussminuten erreichbar ist, ist toll. Wir empfehlen den Tuhnfischsandwich und die Pizza mit Kartoffeln und Rosmarien ganz besonders, doch eigentlich hat alles geschmeckt, was wir probiert haben. Die nächst gelegenen Pizzerien sind gut und alles andere als Tourifallen, es verirrenen sich sowieso eher wenige so "weit" nach draußen. Zur Wohnung selbst: Der Empfang war sehr nett und herzlich, es war alles da, was wir brauchten, wir haben aber auch nur einmal gekocht und da kein Festmahl. Der Balkon nach hinten raus ist sehr schön, um den ersten Kaffee des Tages zu trinken, das Bett in Schlafzimmer ist sehr gut, die Schlafcouch für Kinder super, der ein oder andere ältere Erwachsene wird da vielleicht nicht glücklich, sprich vier ältere Erwachsene mit Rückenproblemen würden da wohl Streichhölzer ziehen... Da die Schlafcouch in der Galerie über der großen Wohnküche ist, ist es aber sowieso eher eine Familienwohung. Wir haben uns jedenfalls sehr wohl gefühlt und falls es uns mal wieder nach Florenz verschlägt, würden wir sie wieder buchen.

This place is well located not too far from center of city with a bus in front of door to reach train station, where you can reach the Duomo quickly. The place is renovated recently and is clean and tidy. The host responds to our requests instantly and comes to solve problem in just a few minutes.

We just loved Laura's House. We were greated by Laura's mom and got a great run down of the property and the town. So close to downtown you can walk or take the bus to see all the sights. Close to restaurants, a bodega and most important of all Gelato.

Lots of space, too far from city
We had never visited Florence before, so we did not realize how far from the city center this property would be. It really isn’t walkable. The apartment itself was very nice with plenty of room for our family. The owners were wonderful to work with. One issue was that the washing machine was broken, which we had been counting on using. Other than that, the apartment was fine just too far away from everything we wanted to see.
